That 180mm looks like itīs doing a magnificent job. I really like the contrast and color in your pictures too. They are well composed and really allow the lens to shine.

Thanks Buddy, the 180mm is one of the "desert island lens". I believe everyone should have it in their bag. Sometime last year, or perhaps later, John (jhinkey) did a comparison between the AF version and the manual version. He ended up keeping the manual version. It's super sharp and contrasty wide open, where I like to use it most of the time.
